My TLD custom helmet

nice colors and detail, but the helmet looks a bit short (like a pug's face) to me.
that's the SE MX helmet right?
Nice simple paint job!

nice paintjob, how much did that set you back?
would've spent the $$$ on a real TLD though...but that's just me.

I like how they subtly painted in the silhouette of a birdwatcher-type camera man on his back porch sneaking up on the helmet to snap a pic of the rare black butted helmet hawk! It must have taken hours to do that part, right????
Nice lid, but don't crash in it 
Pretty awesome helmet...
Hey guys...
If you want TLD to paint your lid, you gotta' bleed!
But yes 1.000,- is a lot... i can see where the time spent into design went.
Indeed don't crash it!
Have a good flight!
(i reckon' you like grab some air... with those wings adorning your Bell)

it makes me think "Goose! Goose!" "Maverick, what's goin on up there?" .....highway to the....DANGER ZOOOOWWOOONNNNNEE!!!
The paint job is great, but....."do not crash with your helmet" ??? What is next ?? Make sure you do not scratch your body armor ?? Do not make your equipment more expensive than you will still use it....otherwise you are a poser or it is a waste of $ !!

I had a D2 custom painted by a great local painter. It looked killer and set me back $3 hundo. I got flipped alot of sh#t about being a pretty boy. So if you have a pimpy paint job on your lid, all I can say is you better be damn good and fast to back that up! The paint looks sweet!!
$1,000 USD? Your ****ing with us.....there is no way you paid that much. Plus is looks like ****...
TLD=$$$ I know a few guys with custom TLD painted autorace helmets and they've dropped much more coin than 1k
Mac,
It looks beautiful!
I could never justify that kind of $$$ for painting a bike helmet but I could almost (heavy emphasis on almost) see doing it for a race car/truck driver helmet where you don't jeopardize the paint job multiple times daily.
Anyway, post up some in flight pics of the helmet in use...

please kill thsi thread...I'm tired of looking at your Harley wings...
nice dome piece! dont crash 
Mac... You made me do it. Where the hell does you bankroll come from?
I try to avoid questions like that but you forced me to do it. All of the Brooklyn and TLD extravagances have gotten the better of me.

But how can you justify a Bling! carbon D2?
If you crash a carbon D2 will give... just like the fiber D2!
In any case whaddabout my self-painted Giro MM2.
That silver is a 'chrome' base... no dipping but sprayable paint!

If have stacked it during BMX training!
Wrecked the peak practicing clearing a gapped double into drop on a 4X!
Except for the peak it still looks as new.
2K Clear Coat is extremely durable and some elbow grease with autopolish!
And those autosport guys helmets will only be seen when not in-car!
